Safavi ((ペルシア語:صفوی)) is a Persian surname, best known as the surname of the royal family of the Safavid Dynasty. ==Etymology== Some have argued that ''Safavi'' is a cognate of the word "Safaviyeh". And that "Safa" is a cognate of the word Sufi. Safavi is an adjective, created for the name "Safi". Translated to English, "Safavi" would correspond roughly to "Safi-ish" or "Safidian" "Safavi" is the correct Persian language reference to "Safi", the name of Sheikh Safi-ad-din Ardabili. Similarly we speak of "Edwardian", when making a reference to the era affiliated with king Edward VII. Sheikh Safi's descendants have been going by this name for 770 years. There are numerous bearers of the name "Safavi" thriving in modern day Iran, who claim descent from Sheikh Safi or any of his royal heirs. Many ''Safavi''s can still be found in East Azerbaijan, Ardebil Province and Isfahan Province – the former capital of the Safavid dynasty – and can also be found in Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan province. ''Safavi''s can also be found all across Iran. Another branch of the family is found in South Lebanon under the names Safa and Jaber, a branch of the Safa family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Safavi (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
